Retrograde Neptune Today

Neptune's known in almost any astrology tutorial as King of the Ocean. Where there's that much open water, at least some of the time there's fog. It's no surprise then that Neptune's keywords include, foggy, hazy, mysterious, oceanic, tidal. Through his kinship with the tides, the element of repetitive, rhythmic sound is his, too including dance, which leads to romance nad a generally romantic world view, Pn the more challenging side, his keywords also include substance abuse, co-dependence, alcohol. Because he resonates, too, with the non-linear hemisphere of the brain, he's mind-altering, and intuitive.

Since the sound of the foghorn belongs to Neptune, too, he provides warning signs of danger. But maybe that's retrograde Neptune, Neptune changing tactics, mabe like an oceanic leaopard changing his spots. Retrograde Neptune says, "The fog is lifting; look for clarity ahead!" Of course, that can mean taking a look around and realizing you're in a pretty scary landscape, but Neptune is always a symbol of great faith. In fact, Neptune acts so naturally on faith that he seldom stops to ask himself, or anyone else, "Is my faith well-placed in -- this person? this organization? ...this substance? ...this idea? ...this dream? Or am I betting on an illusion?"" But once she realizes she's been wandering in the fog, and realizes that is wandering's takning him farrther and farther from his most authentic dreams, Neptune often has the humility and courage to leave the familiar foggy bottom and go on to bravely place his faith in something better. Let Neptune reyrograde provide the opportunity for someone to show you how.

Sure, faith is required, too, when Neptune's fog rolls in and shrouds the landscpe in mystery, but when Neptune goes retrograde, as it does today, the fog starts to clear. Now it's time to at least consider taking action to assist the clearing process. Join AA. Leave a cult. Use cash instead of your credit card. Start taking dancing lessons. Learn to paint with water colors. Buy a camera. Honor the end of your defunct career as a Hollywood clown and use your skills to help children in hospitals laugh.
